A few days ago there was a post about old style modules and the new rolls of cotton. I took some pictures from the gin that the company I work for rents warehouse space from for seed storage. I told JM I would post pictures of the different chains in the trucks that pickup the rolls and the old style modules. I couldn't get pictures of the new style chains because the trucks were gone and didn't come back in while i was there this morning. The first three pictures are part of what is setting on the yard now to be ginned. The fourth picture are the chains in a truck for hauling the old style rectangle modules. The chains for picking up the rolls have little round pieces in place of the u shaped piece on these chains. The fifth picture is a load of rolls setting on the feeder in the gin. The sixth picture is after the rolls are turned up on their end and the plastic about to be taken off. This is how the rolls are fed into the gin. Hope you enjoy the pictures and hope this helps on how the cotton gets into the gin.
